headlamp washers
where to buy this set or do I need to go the Nissan gt-r service and go deep in my pockets?

Anyone with a set of washers is welcome.

(failing MOT If I hadn't)

That's my understanding too - I got a very early import Honda S2000 and because it didn't have headlight washers it had normal headlights. When the UK version came out with Xenons it had washers fitted. Honda told me it was the law for Xenons...

This car has MOT because its' under 3 years old.

I think you are confusing EU new car regs and the MOT.

AFAIK EU new car regs require Xenons to have headlamp washers, but an MOT doesnt test nor does it require their presence.

Scroll down to see what is checked for with lights..

Bear in mind that for your own car to be road legal in the UK, it will have already passed an ESVA, MOT or both.

And that's without headlamp washers too...
